Thank you for your interest in Alaska Family Council and Alaska Family Action. We are a statewide, pro-family public policy organization that exists to provide a voice on social and cultural issues impacting Alaskan families.

AFC and AFA are funded entirely by the generous contributions of individual Alaskans who believe in making sure strong family values continue to compete in the marketplace of ideas. By strengthening families in Alaska through informed citizenship, community involvement and improved public policy, AFC and AFA remain engaged in the important issues of our day on a long-term, ongoing basis. We look forward to serving you and ask you to join us financially, prayerfully and as an active volunteer partner.

Standing for families,Jim Minnery, President

“The Alaska Family Council’s successes in education, legislation and accountability have made them an indispensable asset in promoting and defending traditional values in Juneau and across our state. They have become an important force to influence public policy here in the state of Alaska.”

State Sen. Donny Olson (D-Nome)

“Alaska Family Council provides a critical service to Alaskans as they educate and alert us to issues related to our liberties and responsibilities. I am very thankful for their hard work, statewide, to keep us informed and engaged in the political process.”

State Sen. Cathy Giessel (R-Anchorage)

“It is very encouraging to us that a ministry like the Alaska Family Council is providing significant Christian influence in the public square and on civil government. They serve a unique and vital role in the Body of Christ outside the doors where we preach the Gospel.”

“The Alaska Family Council has a proven track record of advancing pro-life and pro-family public policy in our State. It deserves the support of Alaskans who care about these important values.”

Former Lt. Governor Loren Leman

“Alaskans are in a profound cultural war. Family values are under assault on many fronts. We must rally together to unite our efforts. The Alaska Family Council is the best choice we have.”

Former State Sen. Fred Dyson (R–Eagle River)

“A state-based, pro-family group affiliated with Focus on the Family would have a positive and much needed influence on public policy in Alaska. It’s past time that a group like this gets off the ground.”

State Sen. John Coghill (R–North Pole)

Our Beliefs

Life should be protected from the time of conception to the end of natural life.

The sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman is the essential element of the family and strong families are essential to a strong and healthy society.

First Amendment religious liberties are critical to our freedom as a people and must be protected and defended.

Parents have a fundamental right to guide their children’s lives and to responsibly direct every aspect of their education and care.

Our Choice Dunleavy for Governor The 2018 race for Governor could be the most consequential state election in Alaska’s history. The gravity of Alaska’s problems helps explain why—an economic recession, skyrocketing crime, and a state government that is in a perpetual budget crisis.

But there’s another big reason this election is unique. Voters have a chance to elect a candidate with extraordinary strength, skills, and character. The Board of Directors of Alaska Family Action has voted to endorse Mike Dunleavy for Governor. Only rarely do we endorse candidates, especially in primary elections.

Mike Dunleavy is the exception, because he’s an exceptional candidate. We’ve observed Mike Dunleavy closely during his years in public office, especially the five years he served in the State Senate.

Yes, Dunleavy has solid, conservative values. But more impressive is his steely determination to move beyond “rhetoric and symbolism,” and actually achieve real policy victories that will make a positive difference in the lives of Alaska families.

There is no better example than Dunleavy’s passionate advocacy for educational choice. In his very first year in the Senate, Dunleavy chose to spearhead a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the Legislature to implement a real system of school choice in Alaska – empowering parents to select the educational option that works best for their child.

Later on, Dunleavy helped pass a measure to protect parental rights in education, especially the right of parents to withdraw their children from any presentation or instruction that undermines their values. He also sponsored legislation seeking to prevent groups that profit from doing abortions, such as Planned Parenthood, from having access to children in public schools.

On issue after issue, Dunleavy has been a leader in defending our values and our freedom. He cosponsored legislation to end public funding for elective abortions. When Governor Walker tried appointing a radical, transgender activist to the State Commission on Human Rights, Dunleavy voted “no” on confirmation, and the appointment was defeated.

Dunleavy’s campaign website makes the following statement: “During the five years I served in the State Senate, no legislator worked harder to protect families from government overreach, and to defend the rights of parents to raise and educate their children according to their values.” We can vouch for the truth of that statement. Mike Dunleavy fought for us—and that’s why we are fighting for him.

In the coming weeks and months, we’ll have more to say about the other major candidates in this race, incumbent Governor Bill Walker and likely Democratic nominee Mark Begich. The contrasts between these two men and former Senator Dunleavy could not be starker. Pro-life and pro-family voters are blessed to have such a clear and obvious choice – and that’s why we respectfully ask you to join us in supporting Mike Dunleavy for Governor.

Great news came from President Donald Trump this morning as he announced plans to reinstate common-sense Title X regulations that will prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving millions of dollars for their abortion facilities. These regulations were originally put in place under President Reagan to ensure that funding for health services to women and children would not be used to support facilities that perform abortions. President Clinton removed the regulations in 1993 when he took office.

We are so pleased that President Trump will reinstate these regulations so that Planned Parenthood will no longer receive between $50-$60 million every year from the Federal government!

Alaska Family Action will be working diligently with the next Legislature and Governor to ensure no funds are going to Planned Parenthood here in the Great Land. For now though, we have much to celebrate for President Trump coming through on another promise for pro-family, pro-life Americans ! ... See more

Let's face it. Most people have made up their minds on Prop 1. This is for those who haven't.

Kathy Sloan is a feminist's feminist. As a former NOW (National Organization for Women) national Board member, Executive Director of Connecticut NOW, UN representative, writer, author, lecturer and abortion on demand without apology activist as a Board member of the International Coalition for Reproductive Justice...she is also supporting Prop 1.

This issue transcends political boxes. When casting your vote, think outside of the slogans.
